About Episode

Sam Johnson is an Urban Missionary and social worker. Yet he had no idea what social work was until his freshman year of college. He found God guiding him to organizations and a church that showed him how to love the community. As he has strengthened his relationship with Christ he also has strengthened his conviction to show love, mercy and justice to those in our community. Sam has an amazing gift of helping individuals see how they can use their time, talents and treasures. In this episode he takes the time to share with our TBWS community how we each can uncover our gifts and use them to love our neighbors. Sam shares testimonies of how men and women are loving those in their communities with their time, talents and treasures. Join us for an incredible conversation hearing the heart of an amazing man who is making impactful change in the WIlmington, NC community.
